<h3>🚨 BIOLOGICAL SYNC WARNING</h3>
<p>
Your Pioneer suit is now hard-linked to the <b>Golden Level</b>. If you venture too far above or below the Pancake Z-height (80 meters), your vitals will begin to fail as the atmosphere rejects your vertical hubris.
<br><br>
You will <b>slowly lose health</b> while outside the zone, but don't worry—FICSIT technology is merciful. You will <span class="regen-text">quickly regenerate</span> your health as soon as you return to the safety of the Slab. <br><br>Use the <span class="regen-text">Gas Mask</span> to not get damage.
</p>
</div>

<div class="how-it-works">
<h3>🛠️ The Logic of the Slab:</h3>
<ul style="font-size: 0.85rem; padding-left: 20px;">
<li><b>The Anchor:</b> The very first building you place from the list above sets your <b>Global Z-Height</b>.</li>
<li><b>The 3-Meter Buffer:</b> You have a tolerance of 3 meters up or down. Build outside this "Safety Slab" and FICSIT will dismantle your work with a bang.</li>
<li><b>The Clean Slate:</b> To pick a new height, you must dismantle 100% of your Producers, Generators, and Storage. Only then will the Anchor reset.</li>
<li><b>Requirement:</b> Designed for <b>New Games</b>. The protocol only activates on saves with fewer than 5 existing buildings.</li>

How to Install The Pancake Protocol on Your Server

1

Order Satisfactory Server

Order a Satisfactory server with at least 4 GB RAM (6 GB recommended). For multiplayer: per 4 players.

2

Install Mod

Open the mod manager in the dashboard and search for "The Pancake Protocol". Installation dependencies are installed automatically.

3

Restart Server

Restart the server so the mod is loaded. Players need to have the mod installed locally as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Pancake Protocol not working after update – what to do?

After a Satisfactory update, mods need to be updated. Check ficsit.app whether The Pancake Protocol has been updated for the new game version. With Mado Hosting: open the mod manager and click "Update All". If the mod hasn't been updated yet, temporarily remove it so the server starts.

The Pancake Protocol causing crashes in multiplayer – solution

Most common cause: all players must have exactly the same mod version installed. Check server logs for "ModMismatch" or "Version Conflict". Ensure all players use The Pancake Protocol v1.0.2 and the same SML. With Mado Hosting, Satisfactory servers run with 6 GB RAM for stable multiplayer performance.

Is The Pancake Protocol compatible with other Satisfactory mods?

The Pancake Protocol uses the Satisfactory Mod Loader (SML). Generally, SML-based mods are cross-compatible, but mods modifying the same game systems can cause conflicts. Test new mod combinations on a backup save. The Mado dashboard automatically detects known conflicts and warns you.

Rent The Pancake Protocol Server

Play The Pancake Protocol on your own Satisfactory server with mod support.
